Applied, 3 weeks later I received an email asking me to the first interview, stages went as followed: Stage 1 - Met with 1 person from recruitment. Stage 2 - Met with another trainer for a peer interview. Stage 3 - Met with the manager and the previous trainer and delivered a presentation on a topic they’d given me. Stage 4 - Last round was with with the training HRBP. Took about 3 weeks to first hear back, then the 4 stages happened over the course of 3 weeks. Pretty great for updates, usually contacting me within 24 hours unless it fell over the weekend.

I applied for this role and was contacted by the first Talent Acquisition (TA) representative fairly quickly. The process initially went smoothly—she kept me updated and later informed me that I wouldn’t need to complete the final interview round due to positive feedback from the previous rounds. However, after being handed over to another TA representative, the experience became less seamless. Initially, I was informed that this role was based in Singapore, and my expected salary discussions were in SGD. However, later in the process, I was told that due to changes in work pass requirements, the role would now be based in Malaysia. This was unexpected, as neither I nor my interviewers had been made aware of this change earlier. Following this, I was asked to submit documents for a salary review, which I did promptly. While I was initially told to expect an update soon, I did not receive any response. After multiple follow-ups over the next several weeks, I finally received a response stating that many team members were on leave, causing delays. More time passed without updates, and after another follow-up, I was finally contacted via WhatsApp for a phone discussion regarding the offer. After nearly two months of waiting and multiple follow-ups, I received an official offer letter—however, I was only given three days to decide. While I appreciated the opportunity, I believe there is room for improvement in the communication and transparency of the hiring process to ensure a smoother experience for candidates.
